You gotta know that when they stick a foot in a hot banger of a beat, the producer wants to jump on the track. And when you are Swizz, shizz like that can happen! Like this “Theme Music.” Nice visuals from the latest for Fabolous & Jadakiss.

Would not surprise you to see a music video for, say, that “F Vs. J Intro” on Vevo, would it? Videos for any of those bangers off “Friday On Elm Street” would have a home there, no prob. But how about a live set from the dope duo though? Ahaaaa! That would be a surprise… the best surprise!

Daaaamit! We are NOT doing wack rap over here this year (as if we did ever). We are on the soapbox, standing for LYRICISM in the ‘018, like what we have her in the “F vs. J Intro.” The words and meanings behind them are laid out lovely by the architects of the rhyme – Fab and Jada.

Fabolous and Jadakiss ended 2017 with ‘Friday On Elm Street,’ a collaborative album that features Future, French Montana, Yo Gotti, Jeezy, and more. The title is a reference to the classic ‘Friday the 13th’ and ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ horror movies, and the project kicks off with the aptly titled “F vs. J Intro,” an abbreviated version of the film series’ respective villains Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kreuger. The horror movie mythology is woven throughout the track, as both Fab and Jada explain to Genius.

Fabolous and Jadakiss announced a joint project – “Freddy vs. Jason” – March last year. But it kept on getting pushed back for some reason or another. Welp, here we finally go: “Friday On Elm Street” is here!

That beat though. Produced by Jimmy Dukes and Smiley’s People (making note of that). The LOX rapping hella hard over this smoke worthy track. Just how they do. You’re gonna love it (prediction). Just press play!

Unless you are tryna go back and f*ck with that “500 Benz” by Joey Bad on here (which is highly encouraged), this is gonna be the hardest, ‘shmoovest’ jawn produced, mixed, and mastered by Statik Selektah that you will be jamming to today #Facts

Horns by Utril Rhaburn. Rhymes by Sheek, Styles, Jadakiss. Additional vocals by Tawatha Agee & James Mtume. AND Stat Diddy??? You know it’s gonna be a banger before you play it!

Never before has that Andre 3 Stacks lyric seemed more apropos. Every other sentence in this libation-laced pow-wow should end with, “Let the liquor tell it.” Incredible (almost “Unbelievable”… get it? Because Biggie)!

Joined by Jadakiss, Lil’ Cease, the Junior M.A.F.I.A. member, tells never-before-heard tales on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. Lil’ Cease reveals Outlawz told him Tupac was ready to squash B.I.G. beef. On Drink Champs, the Junior M.A.F.I.A. frontman tells phenomenal stories detailing being the driver of a car accident that left Biggie hospitalized for months; Notorious B.I.G.’s aspiration for life after the “Life After Death” LP; and Jadakiss chimes in on who was targeted on some of Biggie’s “You’ll See” rhymes. (Here’s a hint: their name rhymes with ‘The Fox’).

Kill all the yapping. Not here for the chit-chat. The dope beat and the damn lyrics are what’s happening! Yessir!!

Several ‘hot spots’ in this “Nine Point Five” jawn off “The Seven” LP. The one you might miss is Kweli mentioning ‘uncomfortable feelings’ listening to “Planet Rock” (re: Afrika Bambaataa’s recent controversy). Jadakiss’ spit is the truth, too: “Hip-Hop ain’t as dead as it looks.”

Who knew about this and when??? Talking about “The King & I” by Faith Evans & The Notorious B.I.G. Yeah, Biggie! Wifey is stepping up to the plate with a plate that will be expected to knock a homer out the park! You can pre-order the LP well before it’s May release via the link below. Will it live up? Well, how about taking a look at the BTS video with the first all-star add to the team, Jadakiss. A single off the LP – “NYC” – has J To Tha on there, with some DJ Premier scratches and production on there, all with Faith on there with B.I.G. peppered in there.

N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN are the “Drink Champs”. In this episode the guys drink it up with The LOX. Although members of The LOX have sat in with the champs a few times before, this is the first time all three members sit in together! The guys talks about The LOX new Roc Nation situation as well as their upcoming album and a lot more.Read the rest of this entry »

Soooo f*cking DOOOOPE! Juelz reached to some of the mic masters that came before him – Jadakiss, Method Man & Redman – to bring that “Ol’ Thing Back” maaaan! Something about what Meth said in his rhyme: being the ‘bastard child of Clarence Thomas and Reaganomics.’ Hmmmm… If you think back to when times were bad, and Republicans were in seats of power trying to make ’em badder… that’s when some of the bangingest Hip-Hop was dropped. Facts. All these dudes BEASTED the Jahlil Beat!

They beat that “If I Ruled The World” beat flip the f*ck up though, right?! RRose RRome and General Jadakiss went more gone than a Monica challenge on this “Ziploc” jawn. Respect to GQ Beats for the produce!

Jadakiss and Beanie Sigel. Once lyrical adversaries in one of the rawest beefs since the turn of the century, they are now gonna be forever linked on this “Dinera” – the latest banger from the “The Compound Gold Project.” Produced by Buda The Future and Grand Muzik.
